QuantiChord: New MIDI Chord Generator For iOS (+ GIVEAWAY!)

Quantizers are a familiar creative tool for all those into modular synthesis (they are actually among our favorite modules!), but what if you just want to use your mobile device?

QuantiChord, the new app by StepPolyArp’s developer Laurent Colson, is is a MIDI effect that generates chords from incoming notes and quantizes the results to a pre-defined scale. It can be used as a standalone application or as an Audio Unit MIDI effect plug-in (and you can get it for free, see below!)

The chord is generated by adding up to 8 transposed notes to the original note played. Once the chord is generated, it is quantized to limit it to the selected output scale.

The application supports full internal and external MIDI connections for input and output. An internal sound bank is included.

The Audio Unit MIDI effect plug-in supports multiple instances. A compatible host is required to run the plug-in. The host must support the Audio Unit MIDI effect format.

Features:

Standalone application and Audio Unit MIDI effect plug-in

8 transposing sliders from -24 to +24 semi-tones (+/- 2 octaves)

1 global transposer slider

Scale quantizer

Lockable parameter protection when switching presets

Resizable keyboard

Multitasking

Sample-accurate timing

Internal sound bank

Receiving MIDI from external MIDI sources

Internal routing of inputs, outputs

Send MIDI to a virtual port that can be used as MIDI input by other “Core MIDI” compatible applications

I could probably use this in my workflow. StepPolyArp is great and I use quite a bit. Would be great to win

I have a few pieces that have remained unfinished for several years, due to writer’s block. QuantiChord just may be a big help in completing them. Thank you for creating this app. I can’t wait to try it out.

Well, despite Bono not being the most loved singer in the pop rock world, with or without you has still a great 4 chords progression. Pop masterpiece imho.
